Leveling a Companion once 60?

Pretty much the title.

Any suggestions on how to level a companion once ur 60 and have 0 quests left?

Foundry is the only thing I can think of - but which one?

Doing whispering winds from start to finish I got my companion from 1-17. Grinding mobs doesn't really work - as the amount of killing vs the xp is bleh.

    Always have the pet you want to level out when you invoke.
    Foundries.
    Daily skirms cos of number of mobs in short time.

    Also way I understand it most quests are actually repeatable for a smaller amount of exp than the original so if you know someone who has quests still live you could try making party with them and have them share quests with you. Don't think it works for all quests but it does for at least some.

    Pay or grind levels out.

    This is the most illogical statement i've seen in a while, and is so far from productive, it's not even funny. Nothing in the shop or in game will level anything. Even the cash shop ones start at level 1, and you have to level them just like others. There is no "level up companion" boost in the store i've seen. Whenever they can be unbound, i'm sure though that people will level them up and put them up on the AH so people can buy max level companions.
    Foundry is the only thing I can think of - but which one?

    Pretty much just do the dailies, find four you like, the Old Jerry ones are decent, fast, and fun. I'm sure people used the xp exploits before they got stopped, but they level fast enough just having them out in regular foundries. Since i've done all the quests lines in game, it's been the best way. When they are lower level it goes fast, but as before it takes a while to get the higher levels. Except for the ioun stones or cat, i wouldn't advise taking them into dungeons to get xp, they die so fast in those, and the xp for them isn't that great.

    There are many many Foundries, not to mention you can make your own as well. So no need to level in just one of them.

    I have runestones that have dropped and I also have bought them that I can add to companions to help make the XP gained increase. So when I say PAY and or GRIND the levels that's exactly what you will have to do. Before calling things illogical maybe you should know what statements you're making.

    Maybe I'm missing something but, I'm level 60 and still have enough quests to level a second companion (my cleric is level 14 and will be 15 soon). Or do you have the companions that max at level 30? Or did you power level you char?

    you still gain exp for kills and invoke/Leadership. you can also run any dungeon, do the dailies, etc.
    Open the Launcher. Click Options near the top. Check Disable on-demand patching. This will download another couple of gigs.

    Your actually meant to be able buy fully leveled companions on the AH.
    However it's bugged atm and doesnt let you unbind them.

    And yea you can 100% pay your way to 60, and level every companion too, quite easy:
    1. Buy lots of zen
    2. Leadership grants xp - zen exchange to get lots of diamonds, buy resource/asset on AH
    3. Start recipes - rush via diamonds.

    Probably only take ~10min of clicking if your leaderhsips already high lvl, and ~$50-100 bucks for a companion 1 to 30. Around 30-40min of clicking if your leadership is low.

    How to non-pay to win:
    Find a friend who hasn't completed all quests, help him complete them and have him share them along the way.
